Hello friends welcome to my blog [new born angels]. If you have a newborn baby then this blog is very important for you. Newborn babies are very sensitive, their immunity is very weak. That's why we have to take great care of small children. Is Children's weight increasing properly, whether they are getting proper sleep or not, we have to take care of many such things, hence in today's blog we will tell you how to take care of a newborn baby.
Baby weight.
It is very important to increase the weight of children in the beginning. The child's mental and physical development takes place only when the child is on weight. Therefore, we have to keep in mind that the child's weight is more than the correct fiver.
Normally baby's birth weight It ranges from 2.5 to 4 Kg . And this weight increases within a few days of birth, which is absolutely normal, but within a week the baby's weight comes back to normal weight. After that the child's weight should not decrease. The weight of the child should be increased every week. For a few months, the child's weight should increase from 175 grams to 200 grams in a week That means we check the weight of the children monthly! 700 grams should be increased for a few months after starting, for this we have to take care that we have to feed the child every two to three hours during the day time.
Baby hungry.
We have to keep this in mind with a newborn baby. There are some signs of whether children's stomach is being filled properly or not, which we need to pay attention to. Like children during the day.
Eight to 12. The child will drink milk once every week and his weight will increase. The child will pass urine 5 to 6 times a day and 2 times at night. Will go to the bathroom three times. This means that the child is gaining weight appropriately.
Sleep.
A child three months older than a hero should sleep at least 14 to 18 hours out of 24 hours. If he sleeps less than this, it means that the child is facing a problem due to which the child is not able to sleep and this sleep occurs during the day. 8 is completed in 9 hours and even at night it takes about 8 to 9 hour . and during night sleep the child has to get up two-three times to take feed.
Hygiene.
We should take care of children's hygiene. Whenever we hold small children, we should sanitize our hands.
Diaper.
In summer, children should wear only cotton nappies and can wear diapers at night. Diapers should be avoided during day time. If we wear cotton nappies then keep checking from time to time. If the child remains alive even a little then there are chances of him getting cold. Even in summer season
Good support.
With a newborn baby, we have to take care that whenever we hold him/her in the lap, we should never bring the baby too fast. Support the baby's neck and lift him/her in the lap properly.
Baby burping.
When we feed milk to the child, we must burp after that because when small children drink milk, air also goes into the stomach along with the milk, which causes problems to the children, hence after feeding the child, keep the baby on his shoulder. And bring the child's back gently with your hand, this helps in burping of the child. Keep the child in this position for 10 minutes till the child burps.
Umbilical cord.
until the baby's umbilical cord falls off, the baby should not be massaged. Until then, sponge the baby and give him lukewarm water. Put a cotton cloth in it and reach that child. Its main reason is that water should not go to the village tap area. You can apply Betadine powder on the baby's navel and avoid applying anything else.
Massage.
In the summer season, you should massage the child twice. Massage is very important for small children. It helps in good blood circulation of the child and helps the child pass gas. You should massage with coconut oil in the summer season and in the cold season. Olive oil or is to be made with almond oil. Be careful while massaging. Do not massage with too much pressure.
Bath.
Children have to be bathed with lukewarm water. The child can be bathed after half an hour of massage.
Tummy time.
We should give tummy time to children older than two months . make the children lie down on their stomach, this provides good neck support to the child. The baby learns to sit early and the baby's gas also passes very easily
Gas problem.
The biggest problem that occurs with small children is the formation of gas in the child, so if the child is having gas then the best way to check would be to press the child's stomach lightly. If the child's stomach is tight then the child has gas. There is a problem.
So how to make it, you take a asafoetida, add some water to it, reduce it and then after it cools down a bit, apply it on the stomach area of the child, this will help in passing the gas of the child very quickly and also the child. You will get immediate relief.

A) Here are five frequently asked questions about baby health care, along with brief answers:
1. How can I tell if my baby is sick?
Answer: Signs of illness in babies may include fever, unusual fussiness, lack of appetite, difficulty sleeping, or a change in their usual behaviour. If you notice any of these symptoms or if your baby seems very lethargic or has trouble breathing, contact a pediatrician right away.
2. When should I call the doctor for a fever?
Answer: For babies under 3 months, any fever (100.4°F or higher) should be treated as a medical emergency, and you should call your pediatrician immediately. For babies older than 3 months, a fever lasting more than a couple of days or exceeding 102°F should prompt a visit to the doctor.
3. How do I prevent diaper rash?
Answer: To prevent diaper rash, change your baby's diaper frequently, clean the area gently with water and mild soap, and use a barrier cream like zinc oxide. Let your baby have some diaper-free time to allow their skin to breathe.
4. When should I start vaccinations for my baby?
Answer: Vaccinations typically begin at birth, with doses of vaccines given at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. The schedule can vary slightly depending on local health guidelines, so it’s best to follow your pediatrician's recommendations.
5. What should I do if my baby has a cold or cough?
Answer: Babies with mild cold symptoms usually recover on their own. Ensure they stay hydrated, and use a humidifier in their room to help with congestion. If the cold symptoms worsen or if your baby has difficulty breathing, is not feeding, or has a fever, consult your pediatrician.
